The Book of Cosmi

Chapter 5: Helcurt

Interpretation is something that can persuade a soul into its moral direction. If you interpret something, you will continue to interpret it the way you do because that is how YOU as a being sees it. Whether it's right, wrong, or neither, the statement stands. Interpretation is most definitely not always right, because sometimes things can be interpreted wrongly, which is where context steps in. Context is so detrimental to so many things in one's life and freedom. Without correct connotation, people can be easily swayed into believing false truths. But, context doesn't matter when someone is so set and stone on one idea, on interpretation that they can never be swayed to the opposing side. This can lead into some beings going down a path of no return, where they commit possibly the most heinous acts one can commit. Revenge is very predominant and control is definitely something that one can and will seek over the one they wish to get back at. Revenge makes beings do unthinkable things.

Revenge makes a being willing to do whatever, whenever, however just to achieve a SINGLE... DAMN... FRIVOLOUS... GOAL.

Thus, one man's interpretation began the eternal hell that is known as the Lost War.

They were just experimenting around as usual, Father Cosmic and Mother Cosmos were doing that orb thing they've always done while I was fiddling with my Hellslinger-66, the gun Cosmic gave me as a gift. It was an extremely powerful gun that could fire any type of bullet. Most notably my Blood Manipulation bullet, Over Heaven bullet, and Abyssal Domination bullet. It was capable of reality warping too, even with the most basic of bullets, which was cool I thought. I don't know how much reality I could warp with the Twins always supervising me. Then again, I don't know when I would ever need to warp reality, seems a little outlandish to do such an extreme thing. Even without this gun though, I could freely do whatever I want, I was "boundless" and apparently, capable of manipulating all dimensions of reality and the Omniverse. I didn't use my powers much though, if ever actually. There wasn't much to do if I was being quite honest, then again there was also so much to do that I didn't know where to start in this infinite realm. There was just so much to see, Mother Cosmos truly had done an outstanding–no–more than outstanding job in this realm, it was as close as perfection could get to perfection. I spent a lot of my time in Heaven though, Cosmic's Heaven. This was a pocket dimension within the realm that was also supposedly infinite, but as far as I'm aware it had to end somewhere.

Suddenly, something had caught my eye, my entire body immediately snapped a near perfect 90 degrees to witness what was going on. Mother and Father had created another one, the second one. The same thing that supposedly happened when I was born occurred, the orb faded in and out of existence for a little while before blooming into sheer heavenly light, creating yet another Cosmi God. I was astonished, seeing this happen for the first time was an experience on its own, it was beautiful. Once the blooming of light had settled, this time a fully clothed, fully matured woman had stood there. Lengthy, curly, and gorgeous black hair that reached down to the back of her knees, piercing golden eyes that contained a silhouette of fire within them. What was most unique about this woman though was her clothing. She wore all black clothing with what I could make out to be Vallen Kigeao. Vallen Kigeao looked similar to gold but was more powerful, durable, and better serviceable for weaponry. This outlined a lot of her clothing from the bottom of her pant legs to the neck collar of her robe. She looked very much like a priestess, very grand, very regal, very astonishing. On her head she wore a thin golden crown, leaving her hair still very visible, but giving off a sense of importance when you were in her presence; in addition to this, her hair had bits of golden star charms scattered about giving her an even more unique look. I heard Cosmic speak to Cosmos as they both nodded their heads and at once spoke what I could assume to be the name of this newly born Cosmi Goddess...

"Hestia"

A little less than a month had passed and many more Cosmi Gods were born. Most notably there was Juno or Bellona, she was a war master, she knew the ins and outs of all combat and battle, I'm pretty sure she could even beat Mother and Father in a two versus one fight. Then there was Zexaos, scary I must say, the embodiment of evil, and apparently deep within the realm he had his own pocket dimension that was actually the physical form of his MIND. It was an inescapable prison where beings who have committed such heinous acts go. The last one created that was sentient, Origin. Origin... O̷̝̗̐̌͜r̴̛̰͂͝ȉ̷͕ģ̸̽i̴̩̐̈́n̴͕͝.̵̟̱̆ That was the Cosmi family for a while, and it was quite happy. We all really did our own things, but sometimes we did things together. We were all happy though, so I guess that's all that mattered. The new Cosmi Gods that we conceived were so fun to be with. We went on with our lives for a couple months.

"Cosmos, I know this is sudden, but eliminate them all except Helcurt. There was a serious flaw in my experimentation that I noticed as I was watching over this one being who is a part of one of the three original races who displayed some things that are essential to a powerful soul. They've all been missing the full scale of emotions, which is why they're hardly interacting with each other. We must revert them all back into their orbs so I can fix this. It'll take around a year or two to fix this. We'll have to explain to Helcurt when he comes back from his exploration around the realm."

A pause occurred, I had noticed that the Gods hardly interacted and Helcurt seemed to be the only one with some sort of emotion and/or desire to actually try and be a family with them. I finally responded after some thought.

"Alright then, so be it. I'm sorry, young ones, we'll make this as quick as possible, you'll be much happier once you come back from your Orb State."

Just like that, all the Cosmi Gods except Helcurt changed back into orbs.

Interpretation. As I ran at extreme speeds back into Heaven after about 15 minutes of climbing that never ending stairwell down in the main area of the realm. I was going out and about the realm seeing what I could see in this infinite land. I don't think it was infinite, I felt like at some point or another I was going to find the end of it, but there was just nature on top of nature. It was beautiful and I loved it so much and nothing would ever make me want to destroy it, I enjoyed my life far too much. Once I finally arrived at Heaven after that stupidly long stairwell treck, I walked in to see that Hestia, Juno, Zexaos, Chronos, Adelina, Verri, and Origin were all dying. They evaporated into light right in front of my eyes, and their very souls landed into Cosmic's hand as he spoke a few words with what seemed to look like a sadistic grin upon his face... "Rest for now." He just killed my family, my only family. MY ONLY FAMILY. They were perfectly okay too! What could they have possibly done?! I thought, maybe they had misbehaved and this was their punishment, but it couldn't have been that bad to deserve death! Nothing in Heaven seemed to be destroyed or anything, I was unbelievably confused. Rage built up in my heart, my soul. I shed a tear.. Especially for Juno and Hestia, they were my sisters who were always there, they always listened to intently. They were twins who understood everything about me. It left me truly in a daze that Cosmic would do such a thing. I guess this entire time I was being lied to. I was just an experiment, just something Cosmic could toy with until he got it right. And my siblings were no different. He didn't see us as a family, he saw us as some organic beings! HE WASN'T A FATHER! HE WASN'T A GOD! HE WASN'T ANYTHING HE LIVED UP TO SAY HE WAS Cosmic was simply just..

"A SICK MAN"

I ran. I ran out as fast as I could and I left and ran for a little over a year or two in the vast infinite realm. I explored the realm truly this time, and by all means it was infinite. But as I ran, I came up with a plan that would show that man, that facade of a man who I called my "Father" true punishment for terrible acts.

It was only a matter of time before he would face his denouement.
